Did Alice "see" anything before Bella moved into Forks? "What? Who was that? It flashed in and out of my head so fast that I left me momentarily confused". What were Jasper's first thoughts? Or Carlisle's? Read the Cullen's 1st impressions of Bella.
JASPER POV~
Gazing at her is one of my favorite activities.
So much love, devotion, enthusiasm, and contentment poured from her in waves that it kept me calm and focused.
Sitting amongst the human children, she was the only thing that kept me from either grabbing the closest neck or fleeing into the nearby wilderness. Focusing on Alice kept me strong. I have committed to this lifestyle but the longing was always there. It never went away. Just looking at her reinforced that it was all worth it.
As the teacher continued to drone on and on, I allowed my mind to wander…seeking out the emotions of my brothers and sisters in their respective classrooms, testing their environments while holding vigil over our surroundings.
Things seemed their normal, repetitive status until I was staggered with bloodlust so intense I flew out of my chair and was almost out the door when a powerful hand held me in place. Quicker than anyone could have noticed I was thrust back into my seat. Emmet was staring at me incredulous.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he growled. I glanced around the room at the oblivious humans. I was speechless.
The venom was thick in my mouth coating my tongue like acid. I squirmed to get out of my seat all the while admonishing myself…This is Emmet, this is my brother. Do not fight him. Alice is here. Do not put Alice in danger…
Alice spoke to me softly, her voice penetrating the red haze I was peering through. "Jasper, don't worry. We are getting you out of here. The bell will ring in 15 seconds"
` "Cool it man!" Emmett warned while still clamped down on my shoulder. I struggled to still myself, pulling my emotions into a tight bubble but the waves of bloodlust just kept coming. Where is it? I needed to find it. I wanted to find it!
Then the bell rang and I was out of my seat like a bullet and down the hall. Not monitoring my speed, just flying on pure instinct…searching until I was almost to the door. Biology?.
Just then, I slammed into a rock wall. Edward crashed into me while running out the door. I could feel his rage, anger and lust rolling off him like a tsunami. I was momentarily dumbstruck.
As he disappeared down the hall, I looked back into the classroom to see a petite brown haired young girl. She was unfamiliar to me. I quickly sorted through the many faces of the school and came up blank. Good. She was an unknown. New. Maybe she wouldn't be missed…As I took a step forward in my determination to get what my body was craving, I was pulled back with iron grips.
Rosalie and Emmet stood behind me.
"Jasper stop! Get a hold of yourself!" Rosalie spat.
I turned on her angrily when two small hands lightly held my face.
"It's okay. It's okay. You won't hurt her." Alice murmured looking at me with such peace. I looked into her golden irises and could feel myself calming. In fact, the blood lust was gone. Just like that. I was only feeling love from Alice, curiosity from Emmett and anger from Rosalie.
Alice looked at me with understanding and said one word. "Edward". Of course. It wasn't my hunger I was battling it was his. But Edward? Mr. Super Control? When was the last time that he slipped? 40, 50 years? The farther away he got the more control I felt.
By now everyone had relaxed their holds on me and I watched as the young girl walked past me, looking sad and feeling… rejection? Hmmm that didn't make sense at all. What did I walk into?
Alice looked at this girl and then looked at me. "Don't hurt her Jasper. She's going to be my best friend." I looked at her incredulously. Alice best friends with a human? She grabbed my hand and together we walked out toward the parking lot.
"We've got to go. He is going to need us. I can't see exactly though. It's changing so quickly but it's going to be okay. That much I know." I nodded and then looked at my beloved's tender face. I trusted her. I always trusted her.
If Alice said it was okay then it was. When had she ever steered us wrong? I lightly kissed her forehead and pulled her toward the car.
"Thank-you darling," I said thankful that this exquisite woman belonged to me, "I'm sorry, I don't know what happened back there…."
"Shhh," she said a finger to my lips. "It wasn't you. You know that."
How did I get so lucky that she found me? We continued walking and all was right in the world again. Until I heard her mutter, "Edward, what are you planning in that head of yours?"
